[Dixielandjazz] re Gate Mouth

[John Gill]

Hello
Yes I meant to Say New Orleans Wanderers. Same band as the Bootblacks. As for the issue of pitch. The audio restoration I have was done by John R T Davies, and he paid very close attention to playback speed and pitch. So I feel very confident that the recording key was Eb despite the fact that Louis' lead sheet is in F. It could be a Bb leadsheet. That said, the interesting thing is the extra 4 bars that nobody knows about.
